Product Specific Information

Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analysis of MA1-144 shows positive staining of SSEA-5 positive pluripotent cells within cultured human embryonal carcinoma NCCIT and NTERA-2 cells. Mouse teratocarcinoma cell line F9 was used as a negative control and showed no staining.

Target Information

Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-5 (SSEA-5) is an oligosaccharide that can be part of glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins. It contains the motif Fuc1-2Gal-β1-3GlcNAc-β, characteristic of H-1 antigens. SSEA-5 is found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst during embryogenesis, on undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells, and on the surface of induced pluripotent cells. SSEA-5 expression precedes the loss of other known stem cell markers, and its combination with CD9 and CD90 or CD50 and CD200 improves identification and elimination of rare undifferentiated human ES cells from differentiated populations.
